Entry: The Broken Compass Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/the_broken_compass#11484 Post contents: D C Exile: Sister Wendy is great, and I have no problem with atheist artists. There are many atheists who lack faith, but do not despise Christianity and in fact are trying to find the truth. Pullman is not one of these. His express goal is to undermine Christian belief, and he hates Christianity in general and Catholicism in particular, as shown by his vicious attacks on Lewis and Tolkien. Pullman also would not be one to wait to see a movie before condemning it. He lobbied against having "The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe" turned into a movie a few years ago, because he did not think anyone should see a movie based on Narnia. Pullman deserves no better from Christians. As for me, I would never give one dime to a man who thinks that Catholics are incapable of producing profound literature, because they just accept what the Church tells them as true. This is what Pullman's attack on Tolkien--an attack he has repeated to other interviewers--means. Pullman may become even richer than he is because of this movie, but he is not going to become any richer with my money. Sent at: 2008 10 07
